Different Digital Camera Types Explained

If you're looking to purchase a digital camera, you probably have problems deciding on one. If you don't know what to look for in a camera, it can be hard choosing one. Here we will talk about five types of cameras, each used for a different purpose.

The five camera types that you can choose from are subcompact digital camera, SLR cameras, compacts, super-zoom cameras and advanced compacts.

If you want something to use each day, you should go with a compact digital camera. These cameras can be used with success during vacations or parties. They don't have too many options to choose from, so they're easy to use. Point and shoot cameras like these have a price tag between $150 and $300 usually.

A subcompact is easily carried around, and that's its main advantage. You can put the subcompact digital camera in a tote bag or in a normal purse. It's light enough that you don't feel it when you carry it around. The options that come with these cameras are not great, so you shouldn't buy one if you need something complex. You get better quality than a compact can offer you, but it also costs a bit more, usually between $250 and $450.

Above the compacts and the subcompacts, sits the advanced compact camera, which is a bit heavy and large, so not exactly something you want to carry with you on your trips. This type of model should be used when you know you're going somewhere where you can photograph great views. If you want to photograph a sunset or something that's in a room without much light, an advanced compact camera will do well. The price varies between $300 and $600.

If you want take travel, nature or spots photographs, you should probably choose a super zoom digital camera. The good telephoto setting and the long zoom recommends this camera for such photos. The disadvantage is that these cameras are heavier, bulkier and larger than a normal compact model. The price varies between $250 and $450.

Finally, the best cameras if you're serious about photography are the SLR digital cameras. SLR comes from "standard lens reflex". They are great tools for photographs, allowing you to start them quick, change lenses, they have big image sensors, small shutter lag, can keep RAW images, shoot photos fast, and their battery lasts longer than normal cameras. They're quite bit, but well worth the price you're paying for them, which is between $900 and $1500.
